Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss chicken drumsticks with melted ghee, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat well. Arrange on one half of the baking sheet.
In another bowl, toss zucchini wedges with melted ghee, basil, salt, and pepper. Spread out on the other half of the baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping the zucchini halfway through. Chicken should be golden with crispy skin and reach 165°F internal temp. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for more crisp.
Plate the chicken and zucchini together. Drizzle with olive oil (if using) and garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
